Port Barton Travel Forum

I intend to go to El Nido via PP. I would like to avoid the long bus ride and instead pass by Port Barton or San Vicente. According to http://coconutgarden.palawan.net/gettinghere.htm:

"Airlines, Air Philippines and Cebu Pacific fly daily to Puerto Princesa. Ask the tricycle driver to bring you to the New Terminal in San Jose (Roxas, Port Barton Terminal). The jeepney leaves around 9:30 AM to Port Barton. If the jeepney for Port Barton has already left by the time you get there, there is a bus/van that leaves for San Vicente not later than 12:00 PM on the same station."

Since the cebu pac flight arrives at PP at around 10, can I still catch a bus/van to San Vicente? Has anyone tried this? Please post a contact number.

How about coconut garden resort? Is it a good place to stay in enroute to El Nido?

What are my options in getting from Sabang to El Nido by surface transport.

I plan to hit the underground river from PP City in the morning and move on to El Nido on the same day.

If that is not possible, then I am ready to break at Port Barton and stay overnight if necessary.

I read that boats and private vans are too expensive.

Can someone please help me with the timings and costs of alternatives ?

Anybody knows the bus schedule from Puerto Princesa to Port Barton? I am arriving in Puerto Princesa 10:00 in the morning. Is it possible to have a city tour before taking the last bus to Port Barton on the same day?

Hi Vters!

How do I get to Port Barton from Manila or Busuanga?

We're scheduled to go to Port Barton Palawan from March 31 to April 3. Would anyone know what I could expect from Greenviews resort? How does it compare with Summer Homes? Aside from the Underground river, what other tourist spots can we go to? Is there public transport available in the area going to the other tourist destinations? Anyone have an idea of the price ranges for these including food?

Thank you in advance for everyone's help. I love this site!
